The Legion Pre-Expansion Patch goes live on July 19th for US realms, July 20th for EU realms. This patch features major class changes, the new Appearances system for transmog, and a number of UI changes. In this post, we'll cover all the guides, features, and important database links on Wowhead. Edit: please read up on known patch issues and blue post updates, including Hellfire Citadel nerfs, here

We also have a series of Legion Class Changes highlighting major changes from WoD to Legion, new abilities, spell animations, artifacts, and Tier sets!

Want to learn even more? We have commissioned well known community members and beta testers to write guides to each specialization covering your rotation/priorities, major spec changes, sample talent builds, gear recommendations, consumables, and visual updates. We've also included information on each spec's Artifact Weapon so you can get a more complete picture of the spec.

Below are links to the "home" page for each spec; which in turn links to articles with more detailed information on different class topics.

Revamped Class Guide Template for Users

Is there a particular niche build you'd like to write about? Wowhead now has an easy-to-use Class Guide system that lets you embed calculators, select enchants, gems, and weights! Tag your guide for different types of PvE or PvP content so others can find it easily. Guides can be browsed on our Class Guide Section (note the Legion subdomain in the URL) and can be further filtered by spec and tag.

To set up a Class Guide, make sure you have a Class and Specialization option selected on the Guide Edit page. Or hit "Create a Guide" when browsing any of the calculators.

Transmog

The transmog collection is a new account-wide collection system. However there are a number of restrictions based on your armor type and class. We have compiled a list of the most Frequently Asked Questions and provided answers.

Here is an overview of some of the transmogrification tools Wowhead offers. We pride ourselves on having the most extensive transmog features, fueled by our modelviewer.

The Dressing Room allows players to plan their transmog appearance. Customize your character and swap different gear sets to find the perfect look. You can even preview Demon Hunter models and their unique armor variants.

Saving an appearance in the Dressing Room adds it to our Outfit Database! If you're looking for a creative set, browse the 20,000+ submitted outfits to find the perfect one.

The original transmog resource in Cataclysm was the Transmog Set Database and it's still around and improved! Browse officially-matching sets by race and filter by source or type. Transmog set pages now show popular cape and weapon pairings, as well as any other slot that is incomplete.

Item pages have several Transmog-related tabs. "Same Model As" shows items with identical and recolored appearances, "Transmogrified With" shows the top 4 transmog pairings for popular slots, and "Outfits" shows user-submited sets that use that particular item.

Browse a bunch of item appearances at once by hitting "Gallery" when you filter for a list of items.

With the Wardrobe tool on Wowhead, you can see your entire in-game Appearances collection for any character on your account. If you "Pin" a character on their Profile page, you can then see completion information for transmog appearances on any items page, tooltip, or item filter list. Great if you are scanning a bunch of items at once and want to see which you are missing.

Players that have already set up their account to verify characters on Wowhead will automatically have Wardrobe data uploaded. For example, if you have previously entered a beta key giveaway or tracked toys on the Profiler. Simply look up your character on this page to see their Wardrobe information.

The PvP system has been revamped for 7.0, and even though most of it is not accessible until Legion, some parts of it are visible.

Honor Points and Conquest Points have been removed as currency.

Items which formerly cost Honor or Conquest now have a new type of currency which is BoA:

In the pre-patch, you can spend on transmog gear from old-world NPCs.

The 5v5 bracket has been removed. is now a Feat of Strength.

Gear has been normalized in PvP combat with the buff. Your character's stats are adjusted to predetermined values based on your specialization. Gear bonuses are also disabled, like set bonuses.

Players in battlegrounds now receive a Crate of Battlefield Goods for winning; members of the losing team can also win a crate depending on the team score at the end. This will contain a piece of armor suitable for your level and specialization.

Warlords Season 3 has ended; the start date for Legion Season 1 is unknown.

Thanks for the guide! It will be useful... tomorrow.. *grumbles about EU slacking*

"The recipe for Tome of the Clear Mind comes from the Herb Trader in your Garrison." Does this mean the herb trader that only appears on certain days, and has a random chance to appear in your garrison? Why not just put it on the trader in the inscription building that everyone has access to?

Edit:

Yes it is this random herb trader, I think it's showed up in my scribe's garrison about 4 times over the expansion, lol. Thank goodness for cross realm garrison hopping and hoping it doesn't take too long to appear after the pre-patch goes live :-/

Wow what a great guide Perculia! You really always make it so much easier to understand what's gonna go down on patch days and stuff.

It's going to take me all day just to sort out my new talents, specs, UI, transmog and everything else that comes to us tomorrow!

Thanks for making it easier on us :)

Will there be an "all transmog sets for Demon Hunters" guide eventually? Those are very, very helpful guides breaking up tier look-alikes.
